WAF & Shield Advanced web ACL issues.

AWS Web Application Firewall (WAF) and AWS Shield Advanced are powerful security tools that protect your applications and resources from malicious attacks and threats. However, misconfigurations or issues with Web Access Control Lists (Web ACLs) can cause disruptions in your web application firewall, affecting security performance. At Informatix Systems, we specialize in resolving WAF & Shield Advanced Web ACL issues and optimizing your web application’s security.

Common WAF & Shield Advanced Web ACL Issues

While AWS WAF and Shield Advanced are designed to provide robust security, several issues may interfere with their optimal performance:

Misconfigured Web ACLs

One of the most common problems users face with AWS WAF and Shield Advanced is misconfigured Web ACLs. These can lead to false positives or missed malicious traffic, leaving your resources vulnerable or unintentionally blocking legitimate traffic.

Incorrect Rule Ordering

The order of rules in Web ACLs is crucial. If rules are not correctly prioritized, security vulnerabilities may remain, or some legitimate requests might get blocked, causing interruptions to your application.

Shield Advanced Protection Failures

AWS Shield Advanced helps protect against DDoS attacks, but it can sometimes experience issues with automatic mitigation processes. This may lead to delayed protection or incorrect responses to attacks.

Overlapping or Conflicting Rules

Having overlapping or conflicting rules in your WAF Web ACLs can result in poor performance or ineffective security filtering, leading to either missed malicious activity or accidental blocking of important requests.

Performance Issues

Sometimes, AWS WAF and Shield Advanced may experience performance bottlenecks, especially when dealing with high traffic volumes or complex rule configurations. These issues can cause slower responses or even failures in security enforcement.
